FAQ
This pretty holiday home is in the centre of Cernaia hamlet. It has a private garden at the front and back and a covered patio adjoining the garden where it is possible to dine al fresco during the warm Tuscan summers while admiring the surrounding countryside.




Ippocampo has beautiful open views over the area around the shared swimming pool of the property and over the Maremma fields. The villa is entered from a fully furnished terrace into a colourful living room with a TV and a sofa on one side and a dining area on the other.





The dining area includes a small kitchen, which is equipped with fridge/freezer and electric hobs. A large door in the lounge lets the light come into the room providing a bright atmosphere to the villa.





Next to the kitchen there is a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom. On the opposite side there is a bedroom with bunk beds perfect for children. The double bedroom has a door leading out to the back garden.







Private parking for two cars is just to the back of the villa.

Cernaia is a pretty collection of villas just a few minutes drive from the Mediterranean coast, in the Maremma area of Southern Tuscany. The location is ideal to enjoy the coast and also the Brunnello wine area around Montalcino which is only 1 hour drive away.




The well maintained, sunny gardens around the villas are graced by palm trees on manicured lawns criss-crossed with paths towards the two swimming pools.


At the property there is covered parking for the residents. The villas make a semi circle around the pool area. Each has its own garden which overlooks the grounds and then onto the fields around the property and the rolling hills beyond. On the horizon to the east you can make out the Monte Agentario and on clear days also Isola del Giglio.

Cots are available for an extra charge per week.



Pool Info


The swimming pool is located in the centre of Cernaia. It is encircled by the independent villas on 3 sides while the fourth is open onto the fields that surround the property. Between the pool area and the villas there is a pretty park area creating a distance of about 50meters between the pool area and the villas.




The pool area consists of two swimming pools, a large pool and a children’s pool. Around the pools there are gazebos and sun beds.
The large pool is 7x12 meters and 0.80 to 1.40 meters deep. The children’s pool is 5x7 meters and 0.80 meters deep. Both are open from May to October.


The sea
In about 6.5km you arrive at the Marina di Grosseto which has wide sandy beaches with typical Italian ’baths’ which are areas of the beach set up with umbrellas and sun beds that you can use for a daily fee. Otherwise you can go to the free part of the beach.
A good beaches are also found around Castiglione della Pescaia, which is a pretty recreational port town. Here there are both beaches with the ’baths’ and also free beaches. When you visit this little town it is worth stopping to buy some fish from the local fishermen who sell their fish along the walkway around the port.
For a rocky beach you have to go slightly further north of Castiglione della Pescaia to Le Rocchette.


OTHER ACTIVITIES
In the Maremma area there are several other activities, these include horse riding, kite surfing, wind surfing and scuba diving.
Scuba diving can be organised from Castiglione della Pescaia, Porto Santo Stefano or Porto Ercole. Popular dive sites include the Argentario, Isola Gianutri and Isola del Giglio. For more information on diving centers visit: http://www.diveitaly.com/a_diving/toscana.asp  and http://www.diveitaly.com/a_diving/toscanaisole.asp (for diving the islands)
Kite surfing there are many good areas however the most popular is near Talamone. For more information visit http://kitebeach.interfree.it/dovesiamo.htm and http://www.cavallonatura.it/
Wind surfing
can be done in various points along the beaches. There is a school along the Giannella.
Horse riding, is very popular in this area with many schools to choose from. For some choices visit http://xoomer.alice.it/laserrata/ or http://www.centroippicopoponaio.it/ or www.cavallonatura.it.
It is also possible to horse ride in the beautiful natural park which runs along the coast, visit their website for more information http://www.parco-maremma.it/Inglese/index1.htm

Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und die Verwaltung ist sehr gut organisiert. Einkaufen, Brötchenservice. etc.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? eine Familie nahm ihren Hund mit an den Pool - er lief dort frei umher. aus hygenischer Sicht nicht akzeptabel!
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Liegestühle im eigenen Gartenanteil wären empfehlenswert, am Pool wäre dadurch mehr Bewegungsfreiheit z. B. für Kinder, Gäste die zum Lesen oder "nur" ausruhen einen Liegenstuhl belegen, wären dadurch nicht gestört

What were the highlights of your holiday? Beuatiful scenary and lovely food
What was your overall impression of the accommodation?    Very nice would recommend it to others
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Extra surcharge for beaches
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? The address needs to be more specific especially for those typing in the address using GPS. It took us a very long time to find it and we then had two hungry and tired children shich wasn't ideal

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Saturnia und Volterra
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Die Ferienanlage ist gut betreut und das Haus gepflegt. Durch die ruhige Lage konnte man sich richtig erholen. Den Brötchenservice fanden wir super, ansonsten wäre es doch ein wenig weit gewesen zur nächsten Bäckerei.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Land und Leute, die Unterkunft, Abende auf der wunderschönen Terasse
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Sehr gut, sehr gepflegt!
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Nicht wirklich. Ein Hinweis an der Trassentür, dass diese nach dem Zuziehen nur mit dem Schlüssel wieder geöffnet werden kann, hätte dem Servicepersonal ein nächtliche Tour erspart. Vielen Dank nachmals für seine schnelle und äußerst freundliche Hilfe.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Gutes Angebot, guter Service, den ich gerne weiter empfehle. Vielen Dank!

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Einfach alles. Das Meer, die Sonne, die Menschen, Sehenswürdigkeiten usw.
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? eigener und grosszügiger Parkplatz, Eindruck gut
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Ja. Defekte Stühle und es gab keinen Sonnenstoren. Die anderen Häuser hatten alle Sonnenstoren, nur wir nicht. Wir hatten nur diese Bambusrolladen, die überhaupt nichts brachten (bei Regen hatte man keine Aussicht und bei Sonnenschein ebenfalls. Es war sehr beengend wenn der Bambusrolladen runter gerollt war.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Nein. Wir hatten trotzdem einen schönen Urlaub und hatten uns gesagt wir werden sicherlich wieder in die Toscana reisen. Vielleicht auch wieder auf die Residenz Cernaia, wenn die Mängel geändert wurden.

I went on holiday with my family and we range from 60 years to 2 years so finding a villa to suit all our needs was proving to be quite tricky. When I found your website I just felt a sense of relief

I can't be more pleased with the service To-Tuscany provided. Dick Calabro was especially helpful answering all of my pre-trip questions in a most helpful and timely fashion.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
